County Farm Cemetery

County Farm Cemetery is located in Pulaski County, MO., near Waynesville, Missouri. It is believed to be in Burchard Hollow, but the exact location is yet to be determined.

County Farm Cemetery was established in conjunction with Pulaski County Poor Farm. The Poor Farm was in operation in 1874 and housed the indigent, the disabled, the elderly, and others who had no one else to care for them. Most, if not all, of these people are buried in unmarked graves. At most, their final resting place is marked with a sandstone rock. The following list is based off of Death Certificates which are not available before 1910. The burials between 1874 until 1910, 36 years, have most likely been lost to history.
